The mission of the Avnee Foundation is to beat Meningitis B through education, advocacy, and increased vaccination. The Avnee Foundation, a fund under the Community Foundation of North Central Florida, is made up of physicians, health care professionals, researchers, parents, students, and educators that share a passion for preventing the devastating consequences of meningococcal disease. To achieve its mission, the Foundation develops and supports programs that promote education about, advocacy for, and uptake of vaccines for meningococcal disease.
The Avnee Foundation
The Avnee Foundation was created by Amit and Melissa Rawal, who lost their first child, Avnee, due to Meningitis B at the age of five months in 2013.
